So, I bought a house that just happens to have a flagpole. It was put in by the neighbor’s grandfather back when he owned the property like 60 years ago. I recently dug it up and painted it, replaced the hardware, etc. I’ve been flying the US flag to keep same Republican neighbor happy, but after this weekend’s events, that’s not happening any more.
So, I’ve been pondering what flag to fly instead. It doesn’t appear that my town has a flag, though my county and state do. I considered the United Federation of Planets flag, but it looks too much like the UN flag and I don’t need to hear John Birch from that same neighbor. Ditto the Earth flag.
Maybe the Jolly Roger? Anybody else have a fun flag they think I should fly instead?
Might make more of a statement to simply remove the US flag and have nothing there.
Replacing it with something else makes it look like you’ve chosen a cause in preference to the USA.
Removing it simply says that you are no longer showing support for the US, with no other message. Also less likely to make you a target.
US flag upside down?
Remove the entire pole.
When we had flagpoles we had a pile of flags to fly. I’d get most of them on AliExpress for cheap.
Universities, states, cities, vikings, pirates, scifi, pride, peace, extinction rebellion, etc. I love flying something for larks more than anything else. Fly what you feel, it’s your flagpole.
CANADA
One from our esteemed neighbors.
Fly the flag of Quebec.
My friend has a flag that says “this sucks” I might put up the “be gay do crime” goose flag.

more serious I have seen the red rebel symbol from star wars on a white flag at protests.
The rebel symbol from Star Wars has been heavily featured in the anti-ICE movement here in Minnesota, look up the rebel loon. Your suggestion is subtle enough that those who know will probably get it and those who don’t will probably just think OP is a nerd.
